Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

The space was divided in two parts by a cutout décor. On one side I was laying naked on a rotating metal table lighted by a stroboscope. From the other side the public could see the performance only through a few small holes in the décor. The stroboscope made it look like sometimes I was on the table and sometimes I wasn’t.
(26 January 1991)
